About This Dataset
Distribution of Cardiac Output at Rest
How the blood pumped by the heart is shared among the body's organs while at rest, as an approximate percentage of total cardiac output. The digestive organs, kidneys and muscles receive the largest shares even before any activity begins.
Analysis
Skeletal muscle heads the table on 21, ahead of Kidneys (20) and Gastrointestinal tract (18) in Share of Cardiac Output at Rest (%). 16 separates the highest figure (21) from the lowest (5). First and second are separated by 1, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Only 4 of the 7 reach even half the leader's figure (10.5 or more).
